Subject: Config-devel.in: rename symbol KERNEL_GIT_BRANCH -> KERNEL_GIT_REF
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ab6a96f3f52320f834e7e4a12ec411d77bab7686;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2F981213.git

Config-devel.in: rename symbol KERNEL_GIT_BRANCH -> KERNEL_GIT_REF

The Download/git rule will do a `git checkout <git-ref>`.
So, we can use any ref we want.

No need to limit just to branches.
